If you are accepted into
the SIC program, The
King’s College will send
an invoice to your home
school for SIC program
tuition and housing costs.
Your home college will
then bill you for these
expenses. Travel, meals,
and books are not included
in these charges.
|
| |
|
| |
It is important that you
verify your final costs
with the off-campus study
coordinator, bursar, or
other appropriate
administrator at your
college. Various schools
set their own policies for
off-campus study billing
and the applicability of
financial aid. Therefore,
it is your responsibility
to verify the final costs
per your campus’ current
policies.
